Setting aside his hammer and chisel, the wheelwright went to the upper part of the hall and inquired of Duke Huan, saying, "I venture to ask what words Your Highness is reading?" "The words of the sages," said the duke. "Are the sages still alive?" "They're already dead," said the duke. "Then what my lord is reading are merely the dregs of the ancients." "How can you, a wheelwright, comment upon what I am reading?" asked Duke Huan. "If you can explain yourself, all right. If you cannot explain yourself, you shall die." "I look at it from my own occupation," said Wheelwright Flat. "If the spokes are loose, they'll fit sweet as a whistle but the wheel won't be solid. If they're too tight, you won't be able to insert them no matter how hard you try. To make them neither too loose nor too tight is something you sense in your hand and feel in your heart. There's a knack to it that can't be put into words. I haven't been able to teach it to my own son, and my son hasn't been able to learn it from me. That's why I'm still hewing wheels after seventy years. When they died, the ancients took with them what they couldn't transmit. So what you are reading are the dregs of the ancients." -- Zhuangzi Mancini, Patricia , New Jersey Joined: September 03, 2002 Shep fan since: 1960 Discovered Shep: Guest No: 877 Comments: I listened to his 11:15 PM broadcasts in the early 60's in my NJ bedroom with my clock radio on very low volume (I was supposed to be asleep!). ---hearing Shep's voice on the website downloads brings back wonderful memories. Was told about it by a colleague who also grew up in the NY Metropolitan area and was a listener during his formative years. Before there was Garrison Keeler and Lake Woebegone, there was Shep!

Had the opportnity to tslk with him on the air. I spoke to connecting my brother to an antenna to pick up his signal in JERSEY. My younger brother called in suggesting cereal names of mummy-os one night. If you have an mp3 of these contact ASAP. Saw him in New Brunswick, Sommerville, Metuchen among other places when he got into doing appearances. His (unread) 4th of July show my favorite. Also liked the gravy boat riots as well.

Manwiller, Kurt Frederick, Maryland Joined: January 19, 2006 Shep fan since: 1968 Discovered Shep: On the Radio Guest No: 1611 Comments: As a kid I would lay in bed in the dark and tune around on my Japanese transistor radio to try to see what I could find. I found Sheperd fading in and out on WOR. For quite a while I didn't know who he was - just when and where he was on the dial. Later NPR syndicated his shows, and I listened to them on FM without all the static. Like many - I was greatly influenced during my formative years, and perhaps never took anything seriously - or at least without a grain of salt as a result. Now I have all the books, and as of a couple of years ago - about 900 of the shows in MP3 format. I think that I was pretty lucky to have him there when I needed him...as do many others. Excelsior !
